Strawberry Ice Cream

Vanilla is still America’s favorite Ice Cream flavor, which comes as no surprise to us! According to Food & Wine magazine, to celebrate July being National Ice Cream Month, the International Dairy Foods Association conducted a survey, which found Vanilla and Chocolate to be the two top sellers, in that order. Strawberry is the top fruit flavor, so we’re pretty sure you’ll be pleased with our deliciously refreshing recipe for Strawberry Ice Cream!

In a large mixing bowl combine the milk and the remaining sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.

Mix in the cream, vanilla and strawberry juice into the milk mixture.

Place the frozen freezer bowl into the ice cream maker and turn on. Pour the strawberry cream into the freezer bowl and allow to churn 20-25 minutes. Just before the ice cream is finished churning – It will look like soft serve ice cream – add the mashed strawberries and churn for an additional 5 minutes. Move the ice cream from the freezer bowl and place in a freezer safe bowl and freeze for 2 hours before serving.

It’s hard to beat strawberry ice cream, especially on a hot Summer’s day. The biggest challenge I’ve found with strawberry ice cream is the fruit can get icy once frozen. One solution: use a spirit like 40% vodka, it can help reduce this icyness and improve the ice cream’s texture. I’ve also found roasting the fruit before churning can reduce the water content and make for a better ice cream.
